Understanding Interaction Models: Improving Empirical Analyses

Thomas Brambor, William R. Clark, Matt Golder · 18 May 2005

Multiplicative interaction models are common in the quantitative political science literature. This is so for good reason. Institutional arguments frequently imply that the relationship between political inputs and outcomes varies depending on the institutional context. Models of strategic interaction typically produce conditional hypotheses as well. Although conditional hypotheses are ubiquitous in political science and multiplicative…

Entropy Balancing for Causal Effects: A Multivariate Reweighting Method to Produce Balanced Samples in Observational Studies

Jens Hainmueller · 17 Oct 2011

This paper proposes entropy balancing, a data preprocessing method to achieve covariate balance in observational studies with binary treatments. Entropy balancing relies on a maximum entropy reweighting scheme that calibrates unit weights so that the reweighted treatment and control group satisfy a potentially large set of prespecified balance conditions that incorporate information about known sample…

Matching as Nonparametric Preprocessing for Reducing Model Dependence in Parametric Causal Inference

Daniel E. Ho, Kosuke Imai, Gary King et al. · 1 Jan 2007

Although published works rarely include causal estimates from more than a few model specifications, authors usually choose the presented estimates from numerous trial runs readers never see. Given the often large variation in estimates across choices of control variables, functional forms, and other modeling assumptions, how can researchers ensure that the few estimates presented are…

Evaluating Online Labor Markets for Experimental Research: Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk

Adam J. Berinsky, Gregory A. Huber, Gabriel Lenz · 1 Jan 2012

We examine the trade-offs associated with using Amazon.com 's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) interface for subject recruitment. We first describe MTurk and its promise as a vehicle for performing low-cost and easy-to-field experiments. We then assess the internal and external validity of experiments performed using MTurk, employing a framework that can be used to evaluate other…

Causal Inference without Balance Checking: Coarsened Exact Matching

Stefano M. Iacus, Gary King, Giuseppe Porro · 25 Aug 2011

We discuss a method for improving causal inferences called “Coarsened Exact Matching” (CEM), and the new “Monotonic Imbalance Bounding” (MIB) class of matching methods from which CEM is derived. We summarize what is known about CEM and MIB, derive and illustrate several new desirable statistical properties of CEM, and then propose a variety of useful…
